ARLINGTON, Va. (April 8, 2005) — Xerox Corporation continues its support of Print Buyers Online.com and the annual Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference & Exhibit as a premium sponsor of this year’s conference. In addition to exhibiting at the conference, the “Xerox Graphic Arts Premier Partners” program – a global network of Xerox-equipped, vanguard digital print services providers – will also host a networking event for attendees at Pops for Champagne, Chicago’s preeminent place for sparkling champagne and live jazz. The networking event will be held on Tuesday, May 24 at 6 p.m., after the seminars and educational sessions have finished for that day. “Meeting other print buyers and being able to share experiences sets this conference apart from others,” explained Suzanne Morgan, founder of Print Buyers Online.com and the Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference & Exhibit, “and it’s events like this that make it possible. So many of our attendees say they’ve formed new relationships and have picked up valuable tips and information from their peers at Print Oasis and that’s been a major part of the community we’ve created.” “Sharing our knowledge and our network, and creating positive connections among print buyers and ‘Xerox Premier Partners’ print services providers, is why we strongly support Print Oasis each year,” said Bob Wagner, vice president, Xerox Creative Services Business. “There’s no better place for savvy print buyers to stay on top of trends, hone their skills, and network with peers, industry thought leaders and print services partners.” Attendees will enjoy an evening of champagne and jazz, while meeting and visiting with their peers. Pops for Champagne features a world-class selection of champagne, and the wood-burning fireplace and beautiful outdoor garden area offers the perfect place to meet and visit with colleagues, thought leaders and Xerox Premier Partners (www.xerox.com/xpp). T. Monique will entertain attendees during the event with her sultry deliverance of jazz and soul. Her voice reaches out to listeners, grabs them and refuses to let go. Her vocal range has been described as “encompassing a diversity of qualities, exploring the emotional weight of jazz legend Sarah Vaughn, the soulful music of pop recording artist Oleta Adams and the ‘in your face’ delivery of pop star Lisa Stansfield.” Xerox is an industry leader in the transition from traditional printing to powerful digital technologies that allow print buyers a variety of new options in getting their print jobs completed. Xerox offers a complete portfolio of state-of-the-art digital products, solutions and services that help their customers provide print buyers higher value document services to succeed with “The New Business of Printing.” A number of Xerox Premier Partners will be on hand during the evening event, as well as at the company’s booth (Booth #314) throughout Print Oasis 2005. The Print Oasis Print Buyers Conference & Exhibit is the only independent conference focused on the needs and challenges of print buyers, specifiers and production professionals and will feature more than 50 exhibitors, including printers, proofing companies, major technology firms and paper manufacturers.
